The Kings Of Limbo
A downloadable game for Windows
The world is at war. The Undead, the Goblins, the Karkadann, and the Humans have battle for centuries filling both heaven in hell with the souls of the dead. The divine powers have had enough and closed their doors, and in doing so have created Limbo.
Hoping to create peace and bring the 4 races together in mutual cooperation, the powers of heaven created 4 keys, one given to each race, that if used together would create a gate back into the world of the living. A compassionate gesture, but for peoples born of war, a futile one. The war raged on limbo each side fighting to secure the keys from the other races, open the portal, and return with a massive army to the world.
The humans in the world of the living used technology to fight the much stronger races, but here in limbo they have none. In Limbo, the humans were easily enslaved by the other races and forced to work, killed for pleasure, or used as food.
The world of the living continued to fight unaware of the chaos that awaited them in the after-life.
Then you died. You were a very shrewd. powerful, and tactful king. You won battles many thought destined for failure. Will you be the one to rescue your people in Limbo? Will you rally an army to win the freedom of your people? Will you fight to unify the 4 races or will you crush the races in Limbo and return with an army to end the war? Or will you fail and become just another goblin stew?
There is no sound yet, so just hum your favorite dungeon diving melody.
Let me know what you think. Should I continue making this game? What do you want to see? Do you like the art direction?

Amazing game so far, characters are cute, and the gameplay is interesting. I really hope this game is still being developed and that more will be added soon
Good job, I like it. It's a great concept. I hope there's a full game in the future :)
Very fun, just one issue. The movemet speed of everything is so slow that i felt like a literal weight was taken off my shoulders when i read about the dev tool teleport. Its literally like everything is in slow motion. Other than this, had a great time.
when the game come fully? (Not a demo) I hope the game come soon because THIS IS THE BEST GAME!!!
I am glad you like it! I will work on it early next year. I am finishing my game "The Superfluous" first, then I'll work on this full time.
when this game's full version will be released?
I don't know unfortunately. I got flooded by hurricane Harvey so I've had some major set backs. I am just about ready to move back in (after months of rebuilding). I'll try to keep everyone updated on my progress.
Hello there, it's been 6-7 years since the last time I heard a news about this game... I know that this game has been abandoned long time ago but I just wanna make sure, are you alright mate?
I am good actually. I have been making another game for awhile now. Sand: A Superfluous Game.
I should probably just release the source code for Kings of Limbo. I thought I might come back to it, but I have several other games I'd like to work on.
moar Elfs!!!!!!
I thought about adding dark elves, but I wanted to opt for something people don't use much. That is why I am going with Rhino people (Karkadann). Who knows maybe Elves will make an appearance in an expansion or the $99 DLC lol jk :)
have you heard of loxodon or gnolls? one is an humanoid elephant and the other is a humanoid hyena. maybe golems? also, sorry about the hurricane.
also, an idea for an enemy is a necromancer(cleric for undead) or maybe a starting enemy, if you create a tutorial could be spiders.
Awesome, but please add online multiplayer. (more fun)
How could you see multiplayer working in this? Co-op/versus. Curious on what you'd like to see.
co-op :)
also it could be competitive
The demo's great and the plot, oh the plot is soooooo interesting. The mistery voice seems friendly. Will it have a save feature? Hope to see the game to evolve into a great game.
My plan is to make it a very nice polished game. It will have save features and ways to unlock and upgrade new units. I am thinking there will be different levels/sectinos and you get rewarded for saving people but NOT converting them. You can use those people as workers/crafters back at your home base. Still working on the details, but I am looking forward to this one. Don't worry it isn't going anywhere :)
I really can't wait for the full game to come out! Or is it already there? :-)
Not yet, but it seems like people are interested in it. So this game will probably be my next full time game. I am glad you like it!
Great work! i like it i like it! :)
Thanks! :)
